Tithing & Gifts

Jesus said: “Give and it will be given to you . . .”  Luke 6:38 Our prayer is that you are richly blessed by your participation in the life of Christ by the Sea and that  you, in turn, will be a blessing to others through your gifts in the name of the Lord.

Match Challenge  
$45,000 has been given as a CHALLENGE for the congregation to match.
 
As we complete our Stewardship Campaign for 2020-21, we look to our Spring Matching Gift Program.  These gifts are to be special over and above our regular tithes and offerings.  Funds raised through the match campaign are used to fund about 10% of our yearly operating budget.  They are critical to help fund our staff costs, our worship arts program and our outreach to the local community.
 
Help us reach the goal of $45,000!
